Summary
If you're going through a mental health crisis—whether it's depression, anxiety, stress, or overwhelm—the default advice you’ll likely hear is to see a therapist. That’s great advice, but in reality, even for those fortunate enough to have access to therapy, it usually means two to four sessions before you’re left to manage on your own. The demand for mental health practitioners far outweighs the supply, which means most of us need to find ways to cope at home. While there are plenty of excellent self-care and therapeutic tools, one often overlooked option is hypnosis. In this week's podcast, you'll hear from a psychiatrist who has dedicated his career to this powerful healing modality.
Listen and learn:
- The difference between stage vs clinical hypnosis
- Why “it’s all in your head” is both accurate and useful to leverage
- How to get help or practice self-help at home
- The power of the mind
